Around 500 bird carcasses, mostly Canada geese, were found near water streams in southern Manitoba during early December. Separate clusters of dead birds were found near the Red River north of Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway, but the highest concentration was found in a group of ponds in Niverville.
Frank Baldwin, a biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service, told CBC News on Thursday samples of the birds were sent to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency after they tested positive for avian influenza, also known as bird flu, to determine the strain of the infection.
